Dale and RJ are accepting applications to join this clinic from all paddlers who have advanced skills on whitewater. They require each paddler to bring and wear a full drysuit, thermal layers fit for the conditions of the weekend, a rescue PFD and whatever canoe or kayak they choose to paddle, outfitted with floatation. Class is limited to 15 people who will be interviewed to assess their skill level is appropriate for the curriculum. Day 1 will go until 5pm. Day 2 is planned to release around 2pm.

But wait…there’s more!

Since many of our interested candidates are teaching this year and will want to teach in 2020 also, Dale and RJ are planning to offer this class, Swift Water Rescue, one week before the clinic in 2020 to our instructors who will be teaching the 2020 clinic. Plans are being made to include Instructor Trainer certification before the 2021 clinic also.

Thank you, Dale and RJ for stepping up to offer our area the finest education in water safety.

I talked with Dale about this before and he wasn’t sure. Would Mason be able to do this at 13? He has paddled up to 30″ on the Saint comfortably. I feel he really needs a swr coarse being more competent than many on the river with him at times.

Chris Ward- the registration process will be the same as it is with the clinic. I’m running a little behind on getting the Clinic’s registration online. I will talk to the web diva tomorrow about getting it up and running. Thank you for asking I will post wind the online registration is up. Jo
